I wanted to add more of the large beads to the necklaces so I alternated the chameleon beads that were sort of green and brownish-orange. They have a shimmery multi-colour effect so I used some seed beads for in between that had that same quality.
In the end, I like this necklace but I made a mistake that will bug me every time I wear it. I put a centre bead on the shorter necklace and not on the longer necklace. It makes the longer necklace hang a little funny and my obsessive nature doesn't like it. Next time I'll make sure the longer necklace has that centre bead.

I also did some earrings and a bracelet to match.
I was pleased with the bracelet and earrings. I flipped the longer section of the necklace over my head and I really like the single strand much better. I think I'll separate them and find a larger charm to hang from the unloved longer strand. Maybe that will fix it.
In the meantime, more beads and more jewelry tomorrow. Stay tuned.
Here's where I'm partying:

They turned out amazing!
Such talent!
I think they're super cute.
Next time, don't cut your head off.
You are too funny. :) I like the seed beads you used with your larger ones; they're a good compliment. I actually put a center bead on both strands, and I think Beverly did too...it works and makes things hang right. That lower strand would bother my OCD too. ;) The matching earrings and bracelet are awesome...I need to make some of those to go with mine!
As I read your beading adventures I am thinking that I want to try it, but the logical side of my brain is saying that if I add one more thing to my life it will melt down. So, for now, I shall live vicariously through you. Everything you've made has turned out beautifully!
